No its not,but really I would suggest go for another one,or stick with your current trackers.
ScT attracted a certain( status seeking) type of person as does SCC .Hardly makes either of those sites the best ,actually quite the opposite in my opinion.
Anyway if you are not satisfied with TL then I really doubt if you are going to find anything better about SCC. Edit that maybe the "community" but seriously none of these type of sites revolve around any depth of communication :ermm:,if you are looking for that join a non-torrent related forum dealing with a subject that actually interests you.
Or don't I'm not your boss or some incredible authority on everything,just offering my humble opinion.
Like most packs are stupid.
Then allow me to disagree. Each tracker has its own niche, and ScT/SCC fill the niche for being the closest thing, hierarchical speaking to actual scene access, while remaining within the confines of the bittorrent protocol.
Whether people choose to believe it or not, I do enjoy blazing fast pre-times. There's a reason that the most successful trackers out there, are also the ones with the greatest pretimes and content influx, in their field of material at least.
While I would agree with you that a lot of people prefer to join SCC/ScT as a status quo, it's hard to imagine being without them for a certain kind of user. The kind that's already used to reliable timings for his/her material, with incredible speeds to match up to it. I can tell you this: TL for example, has never maxed out any of my boxes, even when I bought cheap shared 100mbit boxes. It always maxed my upload, though, which gives reasoning that most of the people on TL limit their upload speed.
Trust me when I say, idoleyes, those trackers aren't for everyone, they're just for people who are already used to the circuit and it's become part of what they expect, not what they seek. For example, when ScL was down, I invited a couple of ScL uploaders to SCC, considering they could not find any place else that "could compare". A similar thing was felt by all ScT users when the downfall occurred.
EDIT: As for the packs, well I just have to point out, yet again, that I'm an avid pack user. A lot of people (including me) prefer to watch a TV series as a whole, rather than watch it air week after week. I fall into the group of people that waits for a series to end, then I hunt down a pack and watch it over the course of a weekend with a few friends. Where else but SCC (and previously ScT) could I possibly find this pack up in the fastest possible time? I don't want to wait 2-3 days till people have already ruined the finale for me, before I can start watching it.
Sorry for the comment and maybe I don't understand but since you live in Canada and being aware of what kind of speed are possible here and since I think viewing any of those series would require FTP download via your home IP what difference does it make if you seebox maxes out or not?:unsure:
Btw I think there is nothing "wrong' with series packs ,especially considering being non-current (ie past seasons) doing it any other way makes little sense.
You're also capped on Bell at 75Gb or less so a majority of what you probably download on SCC is just for the stat(u)s isn't it?
Since that sort of thing is rampant at trackers like SCC (and before it ScT)is that the type of niche you were referring to?
Well, my home connection maxes at about 750kbps, while my university maxes out at 1.1mbps, the difference isn't really that significant, and I do enjoy trackers that can use up all 750kbps. TL never even gets past the 200kbps mark for me, consistently dipping below the 100kbps mark, which is still a significant slow down.
Actually, in Canada, it's illegal to hard cap users. I'm capped at 60gb/mo however, I'm allowed to use anything over that at 1$ per GB for a maximum of 30$ (not 30GB), so effectively, I just pay 30$ extra per month, and download anything I want, while ignoring any service caps.
EDIT: To be more clear, I was simply using seedboxes as a bench mark, to compare both trackers. I rarely, if ever, use seedboxes on private trackers. That makes trackers like SCC with their freeleech packs (and as mentioned before, prompt uploads) invaluable to me.
On a 10 mbps line, I've probably experienced about 2-3 torrents in my entire stay there that haven't maxed out my DL, so I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about :unsure:. And I'm sure that any TV season that would be lacking in peers on TL would most certainly have even less peers on a smaller tracker like SCC.
And personally I find comparisons regarding seedboxes downloading faster at trackers to be completely moot. Unless you're one of the perhaps 1% or less of the population of internet users that actually have near-seedbox home speeds, your true "speed" that you download at is only as fast as your home connection. Thus having a seedbox download at a "faster" rate of say 50 mbps on SCC than on TL is utterly useless as its simply a middleman. The file isn't on your computer yet, a seedbox is another, time consuming step.
And how exactly does using the TV packs on SCC make you an "avid pack user"? I don't understand how else it would make sense, other than to keep episodes with packs. Every site does it, and many sites have far more users than SCC which would result in longer retention. SCC didn't come up with some revolutionary idea when they decided to incorporate TV season torrents into the tracker.
There are other sites that do every little thing SCC apparently fills the "niche" for so much better that their really isn't so much need for it other than status.
Idoleyes mentioned that he thinks packs are useless but he doesn't necessarily hate them. I mentioned that I love them, and I download every single one that I might need. I do the same at most my trackers, and every time a pack/vs/single poll goes up, I vote for pack. I'm just that a pack lover, because I don't just want MY file, I want to discover more things as well. I was just giving an example with the TV packs. And where else but SCC can I find a pack of a whole season uploaded right after a show ends? Point me in the direction and I will go enjoy my time there, as well.
I still refuse to accept that everyone in here truly thinks all 18,000 or so SCC members are there for status alone.
EDIT: PS I still don't understand the whole status associated with SCC/ScT/FTN thing. With the exception of FTN they all have a bucket-load of members, they aren't "exclusive" by far. Any member that tries to "collect" these is just retarded. That is my fundamental problem. I don't understand how being on a certain tracker equates to status in some people's head. You're an SCC member? Great, there's 18,000 more (or whatever that number is, now). You're an HDBits member? Great, there's 20,000 more of those. That's the way I see it. I generally find the same people who associate "status" with membership on a tracker, are the ones that later on say a tracker's rarity shouldn't be why you join it. Great.
PPS: This isn't a dig at anyone, and not directed at anyone.
TL does it quite often as well, although certainly not always. They are mostly compiled after a season ends. Although SCC doesn't get them all either, you have to keep in mind that a lot of them were DVDrips, not HDTV packs days after.
And if you're really into TV, any TV specific site (BMTV, TVT.com, TVT.ro, etc.) will have the season pack extremely quickly as internal uploaders compile them, and sites like TVT are incredibly hassle free to seed at, and much easier to join. There are far more peers as well, so the torrents will last much longer than they ever will at SCC.

You'd be surprised at the mentality of the every day BTer...Quote:

I'm at BMTV and heartily enjoy it. When the Dexter season finale was airing, it was the only place that had a proper cap of it back then, everywhere else was still in chaos after LOOP went down.
I read your post daily and love most of them,:)
@ratul
I know that u are eager to join SCC, but i am sad to say that it would be difficult for anyone to give u an Invite as u are from India, if u really want invite of SCC u really need to make good friends who trust u and who know u very well, otherwise it would really be very difficult for u to enter into SCC.
It took me 2 months to enter into SCC, had the same problem, but one day a good friend just pmed me from front asking me for my mail id for SCC, and i entered SCC
Hope your dream comes true in very near future.
Best of luck
last advice, please dont try to sign up SCC account from India in any case from any Isp, otherwise u will loose your hard earned invites.
@BABBY
Thanks for your support :)
and yes, I dont never use my ISP to signup for SCC
I am not so mutch idiote
Just looking for a person who trust me and invite me to SCC.
In other words, SCC bans India and you try to get around the ban. GL with getting invited... :shutup:
TBH, I don't agree with country bans and I understand your view on it, but there are other trackers out there that haven't banned India and last I checked India isn't known for their ultra fast download speeds anyway...
I think Ratul does not really need SCC
But he wants to get into SCC because he has never been their, He wants to experience the site.
I have seen that most of the people just spend lot of time in searching for invites but once they get the invite they are not that eager or curious about that tracker anymore.
I think this is general human mentality which is almost applicable to all, we run behind anything which is very scarce or which is very well renowned but once we have that thing we become reluctant about it.
This is just my philosophy nothing serious. and not pinpointing anyone but just in general.
thanks
regards
I agree with everything you said, BABBY. Ratul, you will have to get an O.K. from SCC's staff before you get invited there. Go ask them, tell them you're from India and you're wondering if they can make an exception for you. If it happens, then continue searching, if not, then don't put anyone in danger.
And yes, SCC won't let you sign up if you're from India, use a VPN or a proxy.
^^^^ I went to their IRC channel before I post this thread. Their support channel. At that time when I go to their support channel, giving SCC invite to the SCT member was closed. I was not SCT member but just want to try. At their support channel I talk to someone, staff of the SCC. He said we are stop giving the invite and only giving to those SCT user who had 500GB upload credit and 1 year ( I dont remember the year ) old. He said if you want to join SCC then if you know someone from SCC ask him/her for the invite.
I dont use my ISP to signin if I get the invite.
Cool, so you're planning to bypass the country ban. Unless you get your hands on a HTTP proxy or VPN service no one else is using, that won't end up well.
ultra surf may work

That's already used by a lot of people and banned by a handful of trackers. SCC doesn't appear to block it, but perhaps they're just waiting for you to register using it.
After getting the invite I will think how will I bypass it.
Invites don't last forever. Not to mention you may put your inviter at risk by doing that.
If a person send me the SCC invite then he/she can belive in me, Because I have responsibility to that inviter. I dont do anything stupid that can harm his/her account, and India is not ban, they dont take new signup from that country. Ban country dont allow to browse their web pages even the log in pages.
It isnt exactly a country ban Anon,only 1 ISP is banned,maybe he still has a chance......
Then let's hope he's using the non-banned one.
Looking at his speedtest,I say he isnt :(
@anon-sbi
In my book stupid is refer to he or she who cant achive success in their plan.
Then good luck, I hope you don't end up stupid! :P
@anon-sbi
:) :)
Screw the ISP ,on both Airtel and BSNL,i couldn't signup.Imo India is banned completely.
When i went to the Irc the staff told me that some parts of India are banned,to which i asked him which parts.??
He dint reply.
and he also told me,that i could signup only if had a seedbox. lol
i went in irc many times,
Most of the time i got just one simple ans "India is banned and we cannot help u" and nothing morethan it.
i gave them my different isp ips and asked that whether i can signup or not, but one of the staff members was very frank and it was my good luck and he told me that.
"If u are really so eager to join SCC, I think u should tell your friend living in other country to signup an account at SCC, dont signup from India, moreover i think no staff members exactly know which ip is banned and which ip is not banned, I can only tell u that India is banned from signup, donation and giving Invites, no one of us knows exactly any more details regarding this.More over i don't have access to the banip log"
best thing to do^^^^ considering SCC does not ban country IP changes
I am still looking for the invite
o.O
